Thanks for this info, my condenser looks a lot like this one but I noticed that the wire lead is frayed and the insulation looks like it is toast. Never noticed that until I started running down the electrical gremlin.

I have plenty of fuel, fuel pump working fine accelerator pump squirts to beat the band. No spark at the plugs so I'm going that direction.

I'll let you fellows know what I find. Thanks again.

P.S. I was a Ford Parts Manager at the local Ford dealer back in the early 70's, and not a mechanic! I know the parts and what they do so that helps!

Jim Linder at Bubba's Ignition rebuilt my dissie about 7-8 years ago and did a fantastic job. I see he uses the NAPA FA54 condensor so I will call down to our local NAPA store and get one ordered
